The study explores the impact of classroom corridors and the design of the wall on indoor lighting performance. First, the field survey method was used to investigate classrooms with unilateral corridor design in eight universities in Taichung. The researchers compared parameters such as wall window type, aperture ratio, glass material, corridor width, etc., and measured corridor and indoor illumination to calculate the illuminance and uniformity. The factors that influence the indoor light efficiency of the aisle and the wall are analyzed, and four representative classroom space samples analysed. The field survey obtained the following results: 1) The wall opening type is fully open, and the transparent glass material has a better light-emitting rate; 2) The wall surface is the upper opening, and the transparent glass material has a better uniformity. 3) The indoor lighting efficiency is better when the aperture ratio is significant; the dimming rate decreased when the corridor width increased.
